The Zola Project

For this project I’m planning to read all the novels in Emile Zola’s Rougon-Marquet cycle. I read a few before this blog was born and of course, not in the order they were published but I’m now going back to the beginning. There is some doubt about the recommended order in which to read these but I’m going to take my lead from Lisa and Dagny who are the brains behind the readingzola blog.

There is no target for when I will reach the end of this project. It’s meant to be a source of enjoyment not a chore so if it takes me until I’m so frail I can no longer hold a book, well thats just the way it’s going to be….
